00:00So, apparently, NetEase, which is the Chinese WoW provider, announced a crackdown on a paid WoW add-ons that related
00:09monetization in China.
00:11So, add-ons must be free. No paid unlocks, no VIP tiers, no subscription, pay-per-use feature, or paid
00:19regardless configuration sharing.
00:21Now, it's said configuration sharing. Ads and donations are fine for the add-ons, but no config sharing.
00:29They're explicitly encouraging a free, open-iron ecosystem while allowing pure voluntary donation and that we don't grant any item
00:36benefits.
00:36This is a major shift for WoW China.
00:38Now, Chinese were the first region to ban boosters for top 1% and 0.1%, and now they're the
00:45first region to ban people selling UIs, in a sense, or like paid add-ons.
00:49What do you guys think of that one? Do you guys think it's a good change?
